Today we visited Barker & Jones bookshop for a workshop with the author and illustrator Alan Nolan. Alan told us about his fascination with comics when he was younger and how they inspired him and his friend to write and sell their own.
We had time to draw one of Alan's favourite characters, Ollie the dog, and we got to finish a comic that Alan had started. It was a great day and when we got back to class we raffled a copy of Alan's latest book, "Fintan's Fifteen". Guess who won? Fintan!! Weird, huh?
